Masked Emotions // Dream6d

Prologue (+AN)

     Just a foreword before you continue reading, some chapters will contain content that may be triggering to certain audiences. If you can, I advise you don't skip any chapters, but I will include warnings before each just incase.

Also, this chapter will be shorter than all the chapter's to follow, since it's only the intro.

     That being said, let's move on to the story. This is a plot I came up with completely on my own, so I hope you enjoy!

Warning: Blood, strong language, death

     Blood splatters decorated the furniture. The man smiled, his cloak stained with the same scarlet reminder of the battle that had taken place just moments before. He nudged his opponent with his foot, assuring himself that there was nothing more than a lifeless corpse before him.

     A crown laid on the ground, shining ominously as the man plucked it up. The jewels glinted in the torch light. Their new owner gently set the crown upon his head; a perfect fit. The man let out a laugh, sending shivers up the spines of the servants left in the room.

     He stepped, practically floating, towards the throne. The man swished his cloak dramatically, seating himself in the expensive chair. A lady-in-waiting dropped a plate, and all eyes turned to her. The man watched as she shakily dropped to her knees.

     " The King is dead," she declared, her voice breaking audibly. " Long live the King."

Gingerly, the rest of the present staff lowered themselves to the ground, repeating, " Long live the King."

The man smirked.

" Long live me."
